Bottle at borefts 2011. Hello Laphroaig what are you doing in my beer, well apparently truly enjoying being in there cause it works out really well. The normal imp. stout by Emelisse is already a great beer. But this version, well bring on the winter, snow and a roaring fire and I’ll kill some time with it.

@haandbryggeriets ølfestival. Dette er nok den beste barrel aged imperial stouten jeg har smakt, og by far den mest interessante. Jeg er glad i laphraig og liker torvsmaken i den. en meget interessant og kompleks whiskey, ølen ble minst like kompleks. jeg kjente veldig godt igjen fatet i ølen. noen sier at den er "overdone", men jeg synes denne var helt fantastisk.

This beer is growing. Yes literally. Extremely much scent. Heavy flavor that tastes much barrel. The aftertaste is too heavy and would never end. May be the heaviest I have been drinking.

subcombicio (95) - marghera, ITALY - APR 1, 2013
Grande abbinamento di gusti tra la imperial russian stout e il gusto del laphroaig, dove emerge chiaramente la nota torbata che la rende intrigante. Da meditazione.
